<p>no, im trying to access the page from the main web site</p>
<p>no it doesn't work for me either</p>
<p>This is directly from the site. Sorry its kinda hard to see, but the first column is State (obviously), second is this (2006) year's supposed (I'm not quite sure if this is real yet) cut off, third is how many got Semi-Finalist, fourth is number of commended, and fifth through seventh is the same but for 2005. </p>

<p>Heck, this just proves, once again, how superior Alaskans are!</p>
<p>i wish i lived in Mississippi
EDITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
i just remembered about KATRINA so I wish I lived in US territories</p>
<p>I was looking for these numbers. Some states went down. Does this
happen every year?</p>
<p>If you want to see the table-format, see if this</a> link works</p>
<p>hahahahah i live in Mississippi.</p>
<p>YEah im kind of lucky because the cut-off is 204. </p>
<p>Hey has anybody recieved their bulletins yet??? my councelor's such a pain that even after going to her 3 times to ask for the bulletin, she won't give it!!!</p>
<p>sanguine-you should be getting your bulletin...o.o; My counselor handed out ours like the first week of school and we just handed the stuff back in to her today.</p>
<p>But you've got time, I think the final due date is October something. It's a simple form, just basic background stuff and an essay.</p>
<p>Yea but the essay is crazy tho... </p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>The essay is pretty typical actually, at least that's what I thought.</p>
<p>It's just annoying that they make you relist your accomplishments, which is something you've been trained not to do. It's hard to list all of your honors/awards without sounding arrogant.</p>
<p>so if you barely make the cutoff, will uy most likely not get the scholarship(s)?</p>
<p>I hatelove my state.</p>
<p>wait....but it comes with a practice test right??</p>
<p>because thats my biggest concern.</p>
